i conditioned the cat by saying ‘Oi’ whenever they’re naughty but now they think me going oi means i’m upset so they come over to comfort me. the naughty thing they were doing was walking back and forth over the laptop, so they’re comforting me by, guess what, standing on the laptop to nuzzle me. also lying on it to with their tummy out to show me they’re comfortable with me. what a sweet little dickhead

one weird thing that’s evident if u watch sgu 8 times is that Dr Brody is right about everything. other scientists guess around at things, or admit they don’t have any idea about something, or are like Rush and know everything, except they’re cryptic, withholding information and are just horrible to be around. but Brody is never wrong about anything we see on screen. if he says anything at all, he’s on the right track.

he’s never seen bumbling around and admitting he doesn’t know something, or even saying he needs more time for a solution. possibly because he’s a minor character and that’s the job of the more well developed scientist characters.

alternative hypothesis: everyone else is a theoretical physicist and astronomer and he’s the only engineer. it’s entirely in-character that he just knows to shut up until he already has a solution.

alternative alternative hypothesis: it’s a low-level magical power he gets from being the ship’s bartender. all tv bartenders get that nearly omniscient “knowing exactly what to say at the right time” straight-talk ability, and it bleeds into his knowledge base as a scientist.

asserting that people are “trying” to reclaim queer, as if it might not stick, is disgustingly misleading. it’s been 25+ years. you can stop talking about it as if it’s “trendy”, or as if we just started yesterday. it’s our word.

yeah idk where you live but people get called queer regularly as a slur RIGHT NOW so excuse me for not wanting to base my whole identity off a slur. if you and anyone else wanna reclaim it that’s 100% fine, it’s your choice, it’s your label, but you don’t speak for everyone.

read the post. it was about something specific, it wasn’t a generic invitation for you to tell me every one of your feelings about the word.
